How to make a bar graph

  1. Add your numbers

    Put the items to compare (days, products, subjects) down the first column and a column of numbers for each group. Paste from a spreadsheet or open a CSV or Excel file.

  2. Choose the bars

    Pick upright columns or sideways bars, side by side or stacked. Sort largest first, show values on the bars, and call out the highest and lowest.

  3. Download or share

    Pick a size, then download a PNG, SVG or PDF, copy the picture, or copy a link. The data itself saves as Excel or CSV.

Good to know

  • Sideways bars suit long labels such as product or team names.
  • Stacked bars show the total and its parts; side by side bars make each group easy to compare.
  • Bars always start at zero, so their lengths stay true to the numbers.
  • Values print on the bars when there is one series; turn data labels on in the Text tab for more.

Where people use it

  • Compare shops or cities

    Show which branch sold the most this month.

  • Class survey

    Show favourite fruits or games of a class as bars.

  • Budget vs spent

    Put two bars side by side for each item, or stack them.

  • Top items first

    Sort the largest first so the leader stands out.

  • Shares of a whole?

    If the parts add up to 100%, a pie chart may fit better.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a bar graph and a column chart?

They are the same idea. Columns stand upright and suit time or a few short labels. Bars lie sideways and suit long labels or many items. Switch between them with one click.

How do I make a stacked bar graph?

Add two or more number columns, then turn on Stacked in the Style tab. Each bar shows the total, split into its parts with a small gap between them.

Can I sort the bars from largest to smallest?

Yes. Turn on Sort largest first in the Style tab, or press Make it presentation ready. Your table keeps its own order.

Which files can I download?

PNG at 1x, 2x or 4x sharpness, SVG for crisp scaling in slides and design apps, and a PDF page. You can also copy the picture straight into a document or chat, and save the table as Excel or CSV.

Are my numbers uploaded anywhere?

No. The table, the chart and every download are made in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server. A share link carries the numbers inside the link itself, so only people you send it to can see them.
